Sound Information
Average sound level of 88 decibels (Very Loud Noise Level) based on measurements taken by users of the SoundPrint
app
. A Very Loud Noise Level is not safe for hearing, exposure can cause hearing loss.
At Barrel in DC on Pennsylvania SE. it’s 7:15 on a Thursday and ridiculously loud. Playing dumb music (white boy bar blues) loudly over the already loud clientele in a room of hard surfaces: exposed brick, tin wall tiles. Can barely hear my companion across a small two person table. We’re yelling at each other to be heard.
SoundPrint measures the approximate decibel level and is not a replacement for a professional sound level meter. The dBA figures in the app and on this site are averages of every SoundCheck submitted for that place — a reasonable guide to what it's usually like, not a guarantee of what it will be on any given night.
SoundPrint's goal is to work with louder venues, not against them.
